I know this is a really broad question...but I'll ask it anyways...How does rv camping in Canada differ from the US?
"Broadly speaking" camping here in Canada is much the same as it is in the US and the closer you are to major populations or if you're in what are considered tourist areas then getting a site without reservations can be difficult from about mid June to after Labour Day, that time period when the weather is at it's summer's best and kids are out of school. Canada is a HUGE country so I'd suggest you first determine where in Canada you'd like to visit as there's little point researching the western provinces if you intend to head to Ontario or to the east coast. Avoid deluging yourself with too much information, just pick an area and start by checking out the provincial park system in that province in which you may be interested. Of course there are local parks, conservation areas, national parks, private parks of all descriptions but you can't really go wrong with the provincial park systems. Now is the time as reservation windows are getting close for summer 2017 camping and in highly populated areas such as S Ontario you won't want to be just pulling into any park in July without a reservation, particularly on weekends. That's not to you can't get lucky but especially when on a trip when time is of the essence why chance it? Figure out where you want to go and book accordingly when you expect to be in populated and tourist areas.
Welcome to Canada, EH? :B
